Expose anomalies faster without skewing your data.

The Pear.ai Platform fills in missing information, using an average of all data or an average of the closest data set, ensuring your company receives a clean budget forecast. In turn, energy managers can use this information as a baseline to compare against the actual bill. If the numbers do not align, it can indicate something is amiss, such as a water leak at a particular location. 

Generally, unexpected water leaks go long periods undetected and throw off your budget by distorting the data. Thankfully, the Budgeting and Forecasting feature provides baseline data to compare charges and allows customers to select a filter to smooth potential outliers in usage data
